The levels of stress were: mild, moderate and deep 4.35%, 65.22% and 30.43%, respectively. A highly significant association was found between stress and SPM; stress and PCOS; p = 0.000915106 and p= 1.8589E-25 respectively Conclusions: The frequency of PMS, the high probability of PCOS and the levels of stress were high and there is a significant association between stress, PMS and PCOS.
